Harvest Moon for the horrid character design!
Okay, it might not be the worst game per se, but I hated that thing with the passion of my ancestors.

Metroid Prime Pinball was pretty much a waste of time and money when you can see everything it has to offer in under an hour. That's not even mentioning the rumble pak which makes a buzzing sound more than it actually vibrates the unit. I bought it used and traded it back in within a week towards the much better Magical Vacation.
Coming off Ouendan, I also became bored with Elite Beat Agents a lot quicker than I should have. Not a bad game by any means, but definitely one of my most neglected.

Totally forgot about Children of Mana, I really didn't enjoy that game at all, which says a lot when you're playing it with friends. That one got traded in with Prime Pinball. The best thing to come of all that was the clerk did the math wrong and gave me a brand-new game and cash for those two trade-ins.

Burnout. It had not a single collision at all. Why even call it Burnout?!

Puzzle de Harvest Moon, Flipper Critters and Myst DS are easily three of the worst games.
A friend of mine bought Myst DS when it came out. She dropped it off at my house a few hours later and said I should review it to warn others and then give it back to her so she could trade it in towards something better. It's horrible. Flipper Critters and Puzzle de Harvest Moon had better execution than Myst DS.

Heh, I think at least 70% of the comments I make here are to warn people not to buy Myst DS. It's so awful.

Yep, Myst DS has got to be the worst game I've seen so far. Bad graphics, bad sound, bad controls, it even crashed now and then.
Lunar: Dragon Song would have been a cool RPG if it wasn't for the requirement to find rare random-drop items, and the breakable weapons. That made it suck.
Insecticide's FPS mode was also pretty bad. Pity, because the adventure mode itself would have been worth it.

"The Wild West" is the worst game in history of, of, of history. I challenge anyone out there to play this game and try to claim it isn't the worst game they've played either! I'd be willing to met money on it!!!!

Ugh. My sister and I bought that game thinking it might be fun. It is soooo boring.

haha, lucky i didn't buy it, i seen it in GAME last year for 1 pound, i wish i bought it now so i could just throw it off a wall. Maybe if the developers looked at the DS they might have gone "hey that looks like the game we were going to sell" and not sell it... urgh stupid.

Worst DS games I have played, hmm, let's see:
New Super Mario Bros.
Metroid Prime Hunters
Naruto: Saikyo Ninja Daikesshu 4
Ridge Racer DS
Meteos
I know a bunch of idiots will disagree with me saying some of those are bad, but they are. Deal with it!

Bubble Bobble Revolution
The game itself is what I expected from the title. However, any game that won't let you get past level 30 because of a programming glitch is a terrible game.
